Animating parts on ground objects

[Ells228]

Does anyone know the FC2 argument to use for making animations on static ground objects, i.e. a radar dish rotating?

 

Thanks,

Ells.

Hi Ells for animation radar: arg0 for horizontal(-100,100 its 360°)

arg1 for vertical( 0,100 its 90°)

....but i never tested this arg for ground objects...

Thanks bud, I'll give that a go

Talked to Ells about this on IM, but just to clear things up, it is not Arg 0 or 1. The argument for a rotating radar dish is 41. (0-360)

8 I think. might be 7

Actually you may be right, luckybob... Apparently 7 serves as static object rotation. I still think it's 41 for a vehicle.

Luckybob i have draw arg for vehicles and i translate...arg0 in rus(Поворот башни по горизонтали)

-1 Поворот налево до 180°

1 Поворот направо до 180°

 

and arg.7 (Открытие крышки пусковой установки 4)

Also make sure like aircraft wheels, you put a keyframe at each 90 degrees of rotation. More than 90 degrees between keyframes and it won't work.

Going off that. Also don't forget to change the curve to linear. Otherwise it will start slightly slower and end slightly slower.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I'll try a few things.
